Very Nice work Laura! I would love to go for a ride on this train. I am home from the hospital now. I had a rough 10 days in the hospital. I am taking it easy now. I am posting archives from before I had surgery. I took a lot of images. Thank You so much for the wishes and the friendship Laura. You are the best! I hope to be able to go outside Easter and walk around. It is also my birthday that day. Very nice work! #9362330Laura E. Swan April 21, 2011
